Wellllllll.....after 30+ years of quilting, and using rotary cutter ever since they hit the market ( and I cut with both right and left hands since I am left-handed and those who taught me were all right handed )....I finally on last Monday, cutting when I was too tired...ran the cutter up over the ruler, and sliced my left index finger pretty bad......I immediately taped it up but that evening at hubby's insistence, went to doc in a box, who said I did a great job, no sutures needed, but he did put a couple of stern-strips on it to hold it better. After listening to 2 full days following of " NOW are you going to get that glove",,,I finally ordered one......not here yet, but I have to tell you it will be better than that sinking feeling you get when you feel that blade slice into your finger, hand, etc.....
